The open layout brings breathing room to the new dining area. To the right is the home's central opening, built around a set of custom stairs.

246 East 58th Street was designed by Paul Rudolph in 1989 and is the only residence designed by Rudolph that is currently open to the public.

Upstairs in the main living barn, an open loft area is tucked into the roof gable with a skylight offering views to the water beyond. Ebonized red oak casework frames the space.

Two George Nelson Bubble Pendants, from Herman Miller, drift above an overstuffed couch from BluDot draped in an assortment of italian wool heritage throws invite guests to snuggle up for a movie night.

The bathroom was similarly designed to make the most of exterior views.

The one element the couple wanted to emulate from their time living in California was the ability to add in more opportunities for indoor/outdoor living. “Living in Manhattan Beach, we would be obsessed about some of the houses on the strand near the beach that would just have these massive rooftop decks,” says Derek. “Since this lot offers beautiful mountain views, the rooftop deck is a great way to be outside and maximize those views.”

The existing stone-walled terraces were an inspiration to the architecture of the house. Architect Miguel Marcelino told the homeowners that the columns were like stakes for the vineyards that could have once been here.

In the evening, the glass-clad home glows from within, an inviting presence in the forest. While the interior is highly visible, the trees and landscaping on the sloped site offer privacy for the residents.

Neutral terrazzo flooring and plaster walls offer interest and texture in the upper level bath.

A skylight in the primary bath harnesses abundant sunlight for the space and gives the feeling of being outdoors. White Caesarstone quartz counters top pale maple cabinetry, lending a serene quality.

Slats along the facade filter natural light into the master bathroom.

The walls are covered in Portola Paints Roman Clay in ‘Anchor,’ and the floors are Bedrosians penny tile.

“Jess is a treasure hunter at heart,” says Mattingly, noting that Jessica brought the antique metal handrail back from New York. The bottom two steps were re-poured and reshaped, framing a new alcove and drop zone with a bench. The walls covered in wood paneling.

Tile selections include Bedrosian “Makoto” 2x8 tile in Shoji White and Ceramica “Graph” Tile in GP022.

Atelier Oslo overcame nature’s challenges when they designed Cabin Norderhov, a seasonal, eco-friendly retreat on a steep hillside overlooking Lake Steinsfjorden. The home’s layout revolves around a central glass and metal "campfire" that burns beneath a suspended mantel. Since it’s located at the access level, the fireplace's flickering warmth can be enjoyed throughout the house. The surrounding floor is covered with hexagon tiles cut from marble, which transition into tiles made of birch log in the rest of the house.
